Tuesday's Prep Roundup: Mount Vernon boys' soccer team tops Nooksack Valley
EVERSON - The Mount Vernon High School boys' soccer team cruised past Nooksack Valley 6-2 on Tuesday in a Northwest Conference match.
The Bulldogs fell behind 1–0 in the opening minutes.
"Being down on a small grass field against a disciplined, low block presented a real challenge," Mount Vernon coach Behr Ibarra said. "The group had to manage frustration, stay composed, and solve problems in real time. I'm proud of how the boys handled that moment."
The Bulldogs bit back to lead 3-1 at the half after goals by Elijah Natekin off an Angel Reyes assist, Alfredo Pantoja and Julian Martinez off a Natekin assist.
Mount Vernon had another three goals in the second half - Carlos Ramirez off a Von Franulovich assist, Rio Ibarra Troha off an assist from Santiago Camarena and Uriel García off an assist from Reyes.
"We returned to the basics - building our attacks patiently, one pass at a time - and adjusted to the playing surface," Ibarra said. "The composure paid off as we found our rhythm and worked our way into a comfortable lead."
Elijah Natekin earned Man of the Match honors for Mount Vernon.
Ibarra said he stepped up when the group needed leadership and composure. The coach also highlighted the play of Santiago Camarena in the midfield, and Zekaya Morrison.
